Steps:

Option 1: Create a new skeleton folder

  • add directory /app/data/skeleton using web terminal
  • chown www-data:www-data skeleton
  • add files to the directory, also chowning themto www-data:www-data
  • open config file with vi /app/config/config.php
  • insert line 'skeletondirectory' => '/app/data/skeleton'on a new line (i to enter insert mode)
  • press esc, then :wq and <enter> to write and save
  • new users will receive the contents of /app/data/skeleton on first log-in

Option 2: NO files added on first log-in

If you just want to remove the default skeleton (no files added on first launch), do the following:

  • open config file with vi /app/config/config.php
  • insert line 'skeletondirectory' => ''on a new line (i to enter insert mode)
  • press esc, then :wq and <enter> to write and save

You can create a directory (/app/data/skelton) using the Web Terminal, change the ownership of the directory of www-data and then set the config to that directory.

'skeletondirectory' => '/path/to/nextcloud/core/skeleton',

Is there a writable space for this to point to?

@subven I think the issue is that the directory is not writable. We have to fix the package to support this by symlinking to /app/data.

cd /app/code/core/skeleton
